  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to development teams, fostering knowledge sharing and best practices.
  • Drive adoption of secure coding practices, compliance with industry standards (e.g., OWASP), and ensure adherence to architectural guidelines.
  • Conduct design and code reviews to maintain quality standards.
  • Identify risks and propose mitigation strategies for architectural and technical challenges.
  • Support the migration and transition of responsibilities across locations, ensuring knowledge transfer and continuity of delivery.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
